Of all the New York City locations in Lou Reed’s lyrics, this is the most famous. In the Velvet Underground song “I’m Waiting for the Man,” it’s mentioned as the spot where Reed meets his heroin dealer with “$26 in my hand.” The corner is a place of pilgrimage for Reed fanatics — although the only man you’re likely to wait for on that corner now is the pharmacist behind the counter at the Duane Reade.

Sadly, any Reade prescription now costs either close to or a whole lot more than the $26 Reed originally sang about. Check the rest of Pheep’s “Velvet Above Ground,” as it were, here.
